    Hi all, my laptop randomly rebooted while I was away from it.

    I went into the event viewer to get an idea of what could have caused it. This is what I got:

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xffffe000fbedb4c0, 0xfffff80133177ad0, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 0f6ebe6a-cc34-4f05-afed-9598f4b5c5fd.

    It would be a shame for this to happen while I was working or gaming.

    Any ideas of what it may be?

    Try running this software (Whocrashed):
    http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed

    It's fairly good at seeing what went wrong after a crash and might point you in the right direction. Helped me out in the past :)

    Good luck!

    That was very helpful.

    Nvidia driver was the culprit!

    Thank you!
